This is required for the GC to be able to call their dtors, if need
be (by appending a TypeInfo pointer after the actual struct in case
the struct has a dtor).
_d_newitemT() / _d_newitemiT() also perform the initialization, so
we don't need to take care of that in toir.cpp anymore.
This fixes a regression introduced in caa2f15c8a. The IrDsymbol
metadata is obviously reset in between modules, while IrTypes
are not. Thus, we can never set symbol metadata when resolving
types, as the symbol data will be wrong in all modules following
the one where the type was first resolved.
GitHub: Fixes#739.
It is no longer needed now that we use DMD's model for determining
whether to emit templates. We might also be able to use the more
general tinst/minst machinery from DMD Git master if we ever need
something similar.
This commit fundamentally changes the way symbol emission in
LDC works: Previously, whenever a declaration was used in some
way, the compiler would check whether it actually needs to be
defined in the currently processed module, based only on the
symbol itself. This lack of contextual information proved to
be a major problem in correctly handling emission of templates
(see e.g. #454).
Now, the DtoResolve…() family of functions and similar only
ever declare the symbols, and definition is handled by doing
a single pass over Module::members for the root module. This
is the same strategy that DMD uses as well, which should
also reduce the maintainance burden down the road (which is
important as during the last few releases, there was pretty
much always a symbol emission related problem slowing us
down).
Our old approach might have been a bit better tuned w.r.t.
avoiding emission of unneeded template instances, but 2.064
will bring improvements here (DMD: FuncDeclaration::toObjFile).
Barring such issues, the change shoud also marginally improve
compile times because of declarations no longer being emitted
when they are not needed.
In the future, we should also consider refactoring the code
so that it no longer directly accesses Dsymbol::ir but uses
wrapper functions that ensure that the appropriate
DtoResolve…() function has been called.
GitHub: Fixes#454.
1. Main include corresponding to .cpp file, if any.
2. DMD and LDC includes.
3. LLVM includes.
4. System includes.
Also updated a few include guards to match the default format.
This reverts commit c4adbedcc, which would have fixed the
problem at its roots, but caused strange template function
attribute inference failures in D-YAML, presumably due to
the different order of semantic3 execution on the templates.
The previous solution was problematic because the change was language-
visble via the isUnsigned trait. Now, pointers are simply explicitly
checked for in the relevant places. (Note that there might be cases in
the diff where a direct isunsigned() call would have been appropriate –
I only checked for instances where the type clearly cannot be a pointer,
but chose to go the safe route in replicating existing behavior
otherwise).
Fixes DMD testcase 'traits'.
This simplifies the code in module.cpp a bit. But it is also the base to implement a pragma to place an arbitrary function in llvm.global_ctors and llvm.global_dtors.
Previously, we just had a hack to make ref foreach statements work.
This commit enables them to work in other cases as well, like the
implicit __result variable for functions with out-contracts (which
is such a magic ref variable for ref-returning functions).
Fixes DMD testcase 'testcontracts'.
On OS X, there is an actual significance to the distinction, which before lead e.g. to exception throwing in the below example being broken:
---
import core.exception;
void main() {
asm {
jmp Lfoo;
Lfoo:
;
}
throw cast(OutOfMemoryError)cast(void*)OutOfMemoryError.classinfo.init;
assert(0);
}
---
